Hi all, I'm thinking of growing jallapino peppers. Has anyone tried growing them, If so did you have any success and were they hot or mild. Thanks.

I have always done well with jalapeņo chillies. They are nice and meaty and tend to be at the mild to moderate end of the range. great for cooking with and I pickle loads as the OH loves them this way for having on pizzas etc. or just out of the jar!

i grew a few jalapeno's this year.

they were a lot more fleshy (if that makes sense) and not as long and thin as i thought. good flavour from them and milder than i thought.

i'll be growing again as you get a lot of flavour with over loading with heat.

mine did get attacked by very large caterpillar's by the end of the season, so may be worth considering netting them if you get the problem too.

Mine have been brilliant - about 20 from each so far. They taste beautiful - moderately hot, but with proper flavour as well as heat. Am overwintering mine to have an early start next year.

I grew some last year and although I planted a few seeds I only ended up with one plant, however, it ended up growing in my greenhouse in a 12" pot and grew to about 3 feet high and the same across.
They ended up a lovely dark green colour which were a fairly hot pepper measuring approx 3" long and just over 1" at the shoulder.
I didnt count how many I got off the plant but I did manage to get 4 large jars full of sliced and pickled Jalapeno's.... very tasty too! 
This year though I couldn't grow them to save my life
